SIG Roofing branches across the UK have filled their sun cream dispensers and have handy sun cream giveaways ready for customers, to assist in the current heatwave and high UV levels.
The business has been supporting the national skin cancer prevention charity SKCIN over the past two years, training staff and customers, and initiating campaigns to raise awareness, particularly among male outdoor workers, of the importance of applying sun protection and regularly checking for signs of skin cancer.
Their most recent initiative was at the Installer Show, where SIG Roofing dedicated a part of its stand to the subject, encouraging all visitors to participate in a free face scan. The scanning camera highlighted sun damage on the skin and initiated conversations about how to reduce the risks associated with sun exposure. The face scanning camera was operated by a representative from the charity SKCIN, who emphasised the importance of regular skin checks and looking for signs of change.
The advice is clear: take advantage of the FREE sunscreen in-store at SIG Roofing branches and protect your skin in 5 ways from skin cancer.
SLIP on clothing, SLOP on sunscreen, SLAP on a sun hat, SLIDE on sunglasses and take SHADE during breaks. Enjoy your weekend.
SKCIN is a national charity specialising in the prevention and early detection of skin cancer through educational intervention. Their wealth of knowledge and expertise spans 18 years, providing a wide range of bespoke, nationally accessible solutions for key ‘high risk’ and ‘influential’ sectors. Outdoor workers are a high-risk group that SIG Roofing engages with each day, so this partnership with SKCIN will enable this messaging to reach many more people who may be affected by this awful disease.
